The Experience
This isn't swiping.
This isn't awkward speed dating.
This is where connection actually happens.
Over 3 days in the Irish countryside, you'll move through a carefully designed flow of attraction, play, depth, chemistry, and real conversations — with 500+ singles who showed up for the same reason you did.
Come for the experience. Stay for the connection. Leave with something real.
What You'll Experience
Six worlds inside one weekend.
The Orchard
Where connections grow naturally. Compatibility-based introductions — meet 5 people you actually want to talk to.
The Match Pit
High-energy speed dating done right. Quick rounds, real chemistry, clear yes/no moments.
Cupid's Playground
Where attraction meets fun. Playful games and group challenges — laugh first, connect after.
The Mystical Forest
Where the night unfolds. Live music, DJs, slow dancing — that moment when it just clicks.
The Estate Gala
Dress up. Show up. Feel something. The signature night on the estate where final matches are revealed and stories begin.
✨ The Signature Night
The Estate Gala
Saturday night. On the estate. The night you’ll remember.
Held in the heart of our private Irish estate — candlelight, fairy lights, fire, and a room full of people you've spent the weekend connecting with. This is where the story comes together.
Dress Up Moment
Black tie meets Irish countryside. Velvet, silk, soft tweed — the chance to be seen in your full magic.
Elegant Dinner
A long, candlelit table. Mixed seating designed to keep conversation — and chemistry — flowing.
Mutual Match Reveal
If you both chose each other this weekend... you'll find out tonight. Anticipation, envelopes, and a few unforgettable moments.
Live Band & Late-Night DJ
Live music to ease into the evening. DJ sets — soul, funk, throwbacks, melodic house — to dance you into the night.
Fireside & Garden
Step outside. Fire pits, string lights, and slower conversations under the Irish sky.
Featured Stories
Light, opt-in moments where a few connections from the weekend are celebrated on stage. No pressure, no surprises — just real ones.
Castle Visit — Your Optional Side Experience
Join us for a guided visit to a real Irish castle (Saturday or Sunday).
Think of it as a romantic side experience — slower-paced, scenic, and perfect for meaningful conversations, connection, and optional photoshoot moments.
The Flow
A Day at Love Éire
Imagine yourself here.

Shared meals, social mingling, candlelight
Night
Music, dancing, chemistry, magic
This is for you if...

- You value depth, fun, and real chemistry
- You're globally minded and ready for something real
- You don't need to be perfect — just open
Coming alone? Good.
So is everyone else. Love Éire is designed around solo arrivals — guided moments, curated introductions, and a balanced male–female ratio so the room actually works.
Serious intention. Light atmosphere. No pressure to perform.
Meet some of the
people

🌿 A Full-Circle Moment
From "I Like Irish Boys" to
"I'm Looking for an Irish Husband"
🍀
Sue has loved Ireland for as long as she can remember.
As a teenager, she wore a t-shirt that proudly said "I Like Irish Boys."
As a young adult, her love for Ireland only grew — the culture, the people, the humour, the land.
Now, as a woman, she's doing what she's always done best: calling it in.
This isn't just a t-shirt. It's a full-circle moment. A declaration. A manifestation.
Sue loves Ireland — and she's ready to meet the Irish man who loves her back.

QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you help with flights and hotels?
While we don’t book travel for you, we provide welcome partner discounts on accommodation near the venue. Our community Discord also has a travel-buddies channel where attendees often share tips and coordinate group bookings.
I’m from the US — do I need a visa for Ireland?
Great news! US citizens can visit Ireland for up to 90 days without a visa. Just bring your valid passport and you’re set for romance. We recommend arriving a few days early to beat jet lag and explore.
Is this event actually single-friendly? I don’t want awkward pressure.
Absolutely! Love Éire is designed for genuine connection, not forced romance. Whether you’re seeking friendship, dating, or just amazing experiences — there’s no pressure. Many attendees come solo and leave with lifelong friendships (and some with partners!).
What’s included in the Weekend Pass?
Weekend Pass (€279): Full access to all daytime activities (kayaking, workshops, castle tours) plus all evening socials — the complete Love Éire experience.
Can I attend if I’m not a digital nomad?
Yes! While many attendees are remote workers and digital nomads, Love Éire welcomes anyone seeking connection — locals, travelers, expats, and romantics at heart. The common thread is openness to adventure and authentic connections.
What if I don’t find a romantic match?
You’ll still leave with an unforgettable weekend, new friends, and a stronger connection to yourself. We design every moment to feel warm, welcoming, and genuinely social — romance is a bonus, not a requirement.
